To think that La La land is awful

[Putyourdamnshoeson]

Just that. We've put it on Netflix.
I wasn't desperate to see It, but you know, heard good things.
40 mins in and..well, I'm posting about how shit I think it is in here.
Do I need to give it more of a chance, or put Friends on?

I made it about 15 minutes in. Which is longer than I managed with Mama Mia.

The ending is awful. Totally ruined the film for me. Wasn't worth all the hype!!!

OP I agree! I absolutely hated it and turned off after 20mins, I thought I'd love it as I very much enjoy musicals I'll never watch it again and seem to be in the minority by hating it

It's off.
I lasted 1 hr 1 min.
Friends is on now.
I'm stunned. I thought it would dazzle me.

You did better than me OP
, I managed about 30 mins last week.

I’m baffled because I don’t mind a bit of schmaltz but I was bored by this.

I really enjoyed it at the cinema. My friends were a bit nonplussed I think. I wouldn't watch it a second time I don't think.

You managed more of La La Land than I did!

Immediately became one of my all time favourite films. I love it and have seen it about 4 times and I adore the ending. Each to their own though. DP watched it at the cinema the first time and someone walked out at the planetarium scene.

I didn’t even get through the first song, and I have watched some crap in my time!

I liked it, but didn't love it (and really wanted to). The Greatest Showman is far better.

I thought it was ok, nothing more. The opening scene was really good.

I liked that they are both dedicated to their art - and, despite otherwise being a bit of an arse (pushing her the first time they met ffs) - he did the right thing with regard to her art.

Oh and the ending was shite, ruined it for me.

I watched it last week and cringed my way through the first thirty mins but as soon as the love story kicks off it lifted it for me and I really enjoyed it, spent the last thirty minutes blubbing pathetically (may have been pre menstrual). I generally just switch off films that don't start well but was genuinely glad I stuck with this one.

Loved it. Such a happy film (most of it).

Awww, your heart is a teeny tiny chip of ice.

Watched it at a friend's house. Nodded off halfway through. Only just salvaged the friendship!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT especially the music. Often listen to the soundtrack on Spotify.

I saw the " iconic " scene on YouTube last week and was shocked at how underwhelmed I was.

Just watch Fred and Ginger clips op.

I watched to the end. Don't get it. Don't like the ending. Don't get the hype. And I love all sorts of films!

Lasted 15 minutes, tops. Worst film since Moulin Rouge, which made me want to chew my own hand off.

They're two of the most slappable people on the planet.

It's a truly awful film. It's a musical....of course the actors should be able to sing! God was it shite.
